The history of CAP

  In the late 1930s, more than 150,000 volunteers with a love for aviation argued for an organization to put their planes and flying skills to use in defense of their country. 

  As a result, the Civil Air Patrol was born one week prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

  Civil Air Patrol is a civilian auxiliary branch of the United States Air Force (USAF). It was started on December 1st, 1941, 1 week before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Major General John F. Curry was the first national commander. Hence, the name of the 1st CAP achievement is the "Curry" award.

  The duty of the first volunteer members was discovering enemy Submarines on the East Coast of the U. S.

  Yeah, by the way, you have to study History in CAP. Sorry. There are a lot of tests, too. Better study up!
